Red Cross chief urges renewal of Lebanon ceasefire
Mirjana Spoljaric, the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) made the appeal during a visit to Lebanon on Saturday.
“Civilians cannot afford for the ceasefire to lapse, plunging them back into heavy fighting that would bring more death and destruction,” she said in a statement. “Maintaining the ceasefire is essential for families to return home, rebuild their lives, and for humanitarian assistance to reach those in need.”
The 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah began on November 27. The deal requires Hezbollah to move north of the Litani River and gives Israel 60 days to withdraw from south Lebanon and hand over control to the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers.
So far, Israel has withdrawn from just two of the dozens of towns it holds in southern Lebanon, according to The Associated Press news agency, and has continued near-daily air raids on the country. Naim Qassem, the Hezbollah chief, said on Saturday that his group is ready to respond to Israeli ceasefire violations.
Israel says Hezbollah not meeting ceasefire terms
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has accused Hezbollah of not meeting the terms of the ceasefire, warning that if their fighters continued to breach the deal, Israel would “be forced to act”.
Katz said Hezbollah had still not withdrawn “beyond the Litani River” in southern Lebanon.
“If this condition is not met, there will be no agreement and Israel will be forced to act on its own to ensure the safe return of residents of the north to their homes,” he said.
According to the ceasefire deal, Israeli forces are supposed to exit southern Lebanon by January 26.
